The Epistemology Of Clinical Practice

Product Description

APPROVED FOR .75 BOC EBP CEUs

The presentation will begin with a brief overview of what science is, their origin, and how we incorporate its systematic process to explain and predict clinical phenomena. The main objective of this presentation is to explain how we have come to rely on science in our clinical practice and the potential misconceptions that cloud our ability to call upon science appropriately in making clinical decisions.

Upon completion of this presentation, the participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the origins of science as a systematic process that is rooted in probability rather than proof.
2. Describe the clinical scientific method and its value in understanding how clinicians move from explanation to prediction.
3. Recognize some common misconceptions about what science is and what it isn’t with regard to determining the effectiveness of clinical practices.
